The Book of Damnation gives all the rules and information that the Sons of Ipswich need to go by to live with the power that they possess, as well as instructions on how to use The Power. It appears as an old, leather-bound, book with a wraith-like figure holding a scythe on the cover.

Her husband, Jacob, died June 4, 1692. Her son, Hagan, was born on April 11, 1693 which is 10 months and 24 days later. Which means that Chase Collins was a descendent of John Putnam through the Pope family, and that's how he had The Power.
